At the local history center in Horten, they also
have a little classroom where this table was
standing.
Two young boys, perhaps 13 or 14 years old,
were there talking to each other about what they
saw. "We had a table like this at school two years
ago", said one of them.
I could not resist asking them if the table they were
talking about also had the hole for the ink bottle
and the carved out part to put your pencils in.
They said yes, so I told them that I had used
tables like that in my school 50 years ago, and that we
now and then used the ink bottle, but not all the time.
Imagine our joint surprise when another visitor,
80 years old, told us he had had the same kind of table
when he went to school 70 years ago, though their
tables were double, for two pupils.
